None of us actually believe that 2016 is some sort of malignant entity. We just identify patterns and make a narrative to help deal with the negative things that happen.
Unlike others who really do believe in talking burning bushes, crackers turning into human flesh and horses flying to heaven. And are willing to kill others to "prove" it. Or use it as an excuse to abuse children, mistreat women.
In this case the multiple endpoints were likely the legitimate users. They tested for around 1M submissions per hour (reports vary from 750,000 to 1,500,000). There are 15M total expected users. My bet is that some significant amount got home from work, had some dinner, then attempted to use the site.
"And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."
A torp launcher, cruise launcher, a heavy assault launcher, a heavy launcher, a rocket launcher, a light missile launcher, a shield booster, an armor repairer, a hull repairer, a 1MN afterburner, a 10MN afterburner, a 100MN afterburner.....
Should have been invincible, but the other guy cheated and CCP don't know how to make games.
Smithers: That's Homer Simpson. Joe Dragon: Simpson, eh? New man? Smithers: He thwarted your campaign for governor, you ran over his son, he saved the plant from meltdown, his wife painted you in the nude... Joe Dragon: Doesn't ring a bell.
I was going to moderate this. But then I couldn't work out if it thought it mostly Flamebait, Troll, Redundant, Insightful, Interesting, Informative or Funny.

So you're bearing false witness?

Seems to be pretty poor at predicting my behavior, given the terrible suggestions it makes.

The science of marketing?
Scaling laws don't all go one way.
To justify all the money that the government gave them, which they actually spend on hookers and blow. (and Photoshop subscriptions)
Maybe they should just go full solipsism and be done with it.

Cheaty like refining iron from ore instead of just using the sharp rocks and strong branches you find laying around?
But it proves nothing.
Just like Linus did.
We have enough space over here already thanks.
This way they will end up with actual evidence of how useless these schemes are.
Upstream firewall? Not? Oh dear.
but they also made less than impressive stuff like Syndicate, so it's a bit of a mixed bag.
Now I'm not sure if you're how to take the rest of your post.
For a 20 year old game what was wrong with Syndicate?
Not reproducible? Of course not! The experiment doesn't work without a cold fusion power supply.
Don't be ridiculous. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
I can see this on my pizza.
There's at least the bit where you set pi = 3.
Your mathematicians also don't know what they are talking about.
Why would he? He knows it can't be more than 10,000 years old. These "scientists" don't know what they're talking about.
